Fancy Dress Rail In . Lunatic Asylum
How the Mad Masqneraders Enjoyed II.
NEW YORK, February aI.-There were
five hundred happy lunatics out in New
Jersey yesterday.
They let their imagination have full
swing, and for once were exactly the per-
sons they thought themselves to be.
All this happened out in the Morris
Plains Insane Asylum.
Warden Mouroe conceived the idea Of
fancy dress ball. ID was very hazardous
undertaking, but he sailed into il aud
came out with flying colors. Imagine two
hundred masquerading lunatics and three
hundred more looking ON. The orchestra
of the institution seated themselves upon
u platform ia the theater of the establish
ment.
In the corridors the masqueraders began
10 gather IN deep rows Of chairs Oh either
side OF the hall. Sitting in front Of the
stage were two of the most venerable pea-
tients got up "a General and Martha Wash
ington. As the maskeTs came in they
bowed respectfully Ia them. There were
volumes In these bows. Some were spas
modic and fiery; Others were slow and
meditativc. NOtwo bowed alike aud none
bowed in the ordinary way. Neither did
anyone omit to recognize Tho respect due
10 the Father Of the Country.
All kinds aud conditions OF mankind
were there. The twciye.year. old school
miss arrayed ~ a flower girl, who had
overturned her reason by bard study; the
formerly eminent physician disguised as u
negro whtewasher, who insisted that
everyone else was black and tried 10 wash

Then il was brought 10 halt, aud a

least idea he was in a luDatic asylum, but
aller he had been there while IL would
have dawned upon him. Dancing displays

there was something fantastic aud graceful
about the way these people moved around
that was not TO be denied. II WAS very

There was nothing OF your tame society

ANOTHER TRUNK HORROR.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, February 24.-The
employees of the Baltimore and Ohio EX-
press Company in this city made a ghastly
discovery to-day which may turn
out To he another trunk
horror. A wooden box about four
feet long was received here this morning
from Cincinnati. 1t was addressed James
Osborne, Pittsburg, Pa, and had pecu
liar Odor. A search of the city failed to
find the person to whom the box was con-
signed, and it was then decided to open it.
When the lid was broken the expressmen
were Mortified to find the mutilated
remains of man in an advanced stage OF
decomposition. The legs and arms were
sawed from the trunk in order 10 crowd il
into the box. Agent Zimmerman, Of the
express company, closed the box and at
once notified the Coroner. DIR. Dickson, a
prominent surgeon. made an examination
OF the body, and gave it as his opinion that
il had been the property Of 4 medical stu
dent who had probably shipped it TO some
friends in this city. The top Of the
head was sawed of and the
work showed il TO have been done by pro-
ieSsiOnal hands. There may be, however,
something behind the shipment, as no
such name as the party TO whom the box
WAS addressed could be found. The au-
thorities here telegraphed TO Cincinnati to
in nVestigate the affair.

by Order Of President Smith.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, February "a
The Senate chamber was carefully guard
ed this morning by the force of doorkeep-
ems.
Even members of the body hal difficulty
in ef1ecting an entrance.
There was tremendous crowd in the
lobbies and much feeling.
At the hour of nine o'clock Green Smith
raped the Senate TO order, whereupon Col.
Robertson, who had been admitted To the
floor, started toward the chair. He was
met on the steps by an assistant door
keeper, who told him he could not come
up. The Colonel replied he was presiding
officer of the Senate and must take his seat
and stepped forward, when the doorkeeper
repelled him. Thereupon he stood in front
of the clerks desk and stated that he had
been elected Lieutenant Governor Of the
State and by the Constitution was presid-
ing officer of the Senate and he demanded
his seat
COLONEL ROBERTSON EXPELLED.
The point Of order was raised that none
but members of the Senate could take up
the time Of the body, which Smith sus-
tanned and called upon the Doorkeeper TO
remove him from the chamber. The Door
keeper approached Robertson, took his arm,
and the two walked out to the main door.
The crowd saw Robertson come out and
there was great excitement. He mounted
the steps and made speech reciting what
had transpired in the Chamber and eau
toned the people to do nothing that would
infringe the peace or dignity of the State,
or that they wOuld regret in cooler mo-
ments. This ended the trouble and Col
Onel Robertson passed out into the hall of
the House, which body had not yet met
During the excitement about the Senate
doors three of the Senators attempted to
enter and had difficulty. Senator John
son, OF Wayne, denounced the doorkeepers,
and during the melee a number of persons
from the inside approached the door,
among them Senator Mcdonald, who put
up his hands. Johnson interpreted this
as an attempt to thrust him back, and
STRUCK THE SENATOR IN THE FACE.
Senator De Motto was ordered into his
seat and when the Sergeant put him down
threw him to the floor. The Republican
Senators started to follow Robertson out
of the chamber, but were not permitted to
leave They sat quietly in the rear of the
chamber, taking no part in the proceed
ings.
When the House was called to order,
bills on their passage were called up, and
one bill was passed The Speaker an
nounced that when the Lieutenant Gov
eruor was presidingi in the Senate, according
to the Constitution, the fact of the passage
would be communicated to that body.
This was received with great applause

admit the Secretary of the Senate to the
hall with the design of presenting any COM
muuication.
